I began the tincturing process after i had shucked the Goldenrod. In a mason jar i measured out the herbs to where they filled the jar halfway up. I then added some 80 proof vodka until the jar was filled to the top measuring line. The concoction was then stirred to insure all elements in the jar were easily distributed. I put the lid back on and tightened it as much as I could to prevent outside air from leaking in and tampering with the tincturing process. I shook it up as much as I could and took it to the coolest corner of my house where I placed it in a box along with the leftover Goldenrod I intend to turn into tea and salve. The herb and liquid should be left to sit for at least 10 days, shaking it up preferably twice a day. I will go out later and buy some fancy tincture bottles for it to go in after it is ready.
